With the MICA students

Maria Blaisse a really inspiring woman who gave a presentation during the DDW. It all started with a tyre, from there and the experimenting with cutting and folding she created products and garments. For her work check: http://www.mariablaisse.com/maria/home.html

Things she said which were very interesting:

Forms forms forms. Embedded in the material, the form reveals itself. To experience the freedom of not giving a name to things. To see what emerges from one form. Inciting the flow of continuous creation. No wast, no loss of energy, alert and alive.

Being part of evolution as a designer. How to become more sensitive, how to interact with the continuous changes in nature, how to let forms unfold, and be creative and efficient through nature.

Generative Design is a morphogenetic process using algorithms structured as not-linear systems for endless unique and un-repeatable results performed by an idea-code, as in nature. - Celestino Soddu, 1992
